The Civil War reaches its final campaigns while the divided Kent family continues its private struggle over wealth, loyalty and control. Soldiers return wounded or morally compromised, and Jeremiah Kent becomes vulnerable to manipulation, desire and violence at a moment when the dynasty can no longer rely on its former institutions.
Beyond the battlefields, railroad construction opens a new arena for ambition. The Union Pacific promises national reunion and immense profit while exposing workers and investors to corruption, dangerous labour and conflict across western lands. The novel links the war’s ending to a new phase of expansion in which economic power replaces military victory as the family’s principal battleground.
